The sacred records further tell us that He “rose again” (1Cor15:4) from the dead, that He “ever liveth to make intercession for us”(Heb7:25), that He has gone up into glory and has taken possession of heaven on the behalf of His people, and that He will shortly come again “to judge the...world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity”(Psa98:9)...-C.H.Spurgeon........Hebrews11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.”

Are you contentious, easily troubled about trifles?...When once the light breaks and the conviction of wrong comes, be a child of the light, and confess, and God will deal with what is wrong; if you vindicate yourself, you prove yourself to be a child of darkness... God will see that you have any number of opportunities to prove to yourself the marvel of His grace. 'Live by the Spirit', says Paul, 'and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature'... You will never cease to be the most amazed person on earth at what God has done for you on the inside...-Chambers........1Corinthians3:3 “For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly?”

​

If the Spirit of God has stirred you, make as many things inevitable as possible, let the consequences be what they will. We cannot stay on the mount of transfiguration, but we must obey the light we received there; we must act it out. When God gives a vision, transact business on that line, no matter what it costs...-Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest........Luke24:32 “Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us?”

​

Every year I live--in fact, nearly every day--I seem to see more clearly how all the peace, happiness, and power of the Christian life hinges on one thing. That one thing is taking God at His Word, believing He really means exactly as He says, and accepting the very Words that reveal His goodness and grace, without substituting other words or changing the precise moods and tenses He has seen fit to use...-Frances Ridley Havergal...........Genesis32:9,11 “ Then Jacob prayed, 'O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, O Lord, who said to me, “Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper.”...Save me, I pray'.”

We're playing to Win. You can't achieve it if you're not willing to pay the price...-Tom Brady, NFL ALL STAR CHAMP, Soul Of A Champion.........1Corinthians9:25 “All athletes practice strict self-control. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I am not like a boxer who misses his punches.”

Behind every Masterpiece Is the life of the Master who created it...-BBC, IMAGINATION........Ecclesiastes11:4-6 “If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.-Be sure to stay busy and plant a variety of crops, for you never know which will grow-perhaps they all will.”

​

#0000726

​

Compare this week in your spiritual history with the same week last year and see how God has called you up higher. We have all been brought to see from a higher standpoint. Never let God give you one point of truth which you do not instantly live up to. Always work it out, keep in the light of it. Growth in grace is measured not by the fact that you have not gone back, but that you have had an insight into where you are spiritually. God has to hide from us what He does until by personal character we get to the place where He can reveal it...-Chambers, My Utmost.......Revelations4:1 “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”

​

​

#0000729

​

Riches are not for ever; and doth the crown endure to every generation? Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.-Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.-Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also...Proverbs27:24. Psalm39:6.-Colossians 3:2.-Matthew6:19-21.

In Genesis, Joseph understood the potential disasters of blending two cultures, so he took steps to mitigate their differences...If you're called upon to lead a cultural merger of multiple organizations, do whatever you can to preserve the unique qualities that gave each team its original success. Be Culturally Savvy...-Seybert, Leaders........Genesis46:33-34 “When Pharoah...asks you about your occupation, you must tell him, 'We...have raised livestock all our lives, as our ancestors have always done.' When you tell him this, he will let you live here in...Goshen, for the Egyptians despise shepherds.”

​

​

If we are going to be ready for Jesus Christ, we have to stop being religious (that is, using religion as a higher kind of culture) and be spiritually real...If you are “looking off unto Jesus,” avoiding the call of the religious age you live in, and setting your heart on what He wants, on thinking on His line-you will be called unpractical and dreamy; but when He appears in the burden and the heat of the day, you will be the only one who is ready. Trust no one, not even the finest saint who ever walked this earth, ignore him, if he hinders your sight of Jesus Christ...-Chambers, My Utmost........Luke12:40 “You also must be ready.”

​

It is through the most difficult trials that God often brings the sweetest discoveries of Himself. This is an ingredient in God's plan of dealing with us. We are to enter a secret chamber of isolation in prayer and faith that is very fruitful. Alone with God, not dealing with the laws of nature, human government, the church, or the priesthood. Isolated from everyone, separated from human reasoning, and removed from the natural tendencies to prejudge our circumstance. At certain times and places, He will take away all the supports we customarily lean upon, and will remove our ordinary ways of doing things. A Divine place, completely new and unexpected, and that cannot be understood by examining our previous circumstances. In a place where God is cutting the cloth of our lives by a new pattern, and thus where He causes us to look to Him...-Cowman, Streams........2Kings4:4 “Then go into your house with your sons and shut the door behind you. Pour olive oil from your flask into the jars, setting each one aside when it is filled.”

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I Am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.-To will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.-Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ...If you abide in me, and My Words abide in you, ye shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.-Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom........John15:45.-Rom7:18.-Eph4:7.-John15:7.-Col3:16...

​

Your love is all too often like a firefly, showing very little light except when surrounded by darkness. And hope is like the stars--unseen in the sunshine of prosperity and only discovered during a night of adversity.
